| Description of the problem | Once parking the vehicle and placing it in park, the key stays locked in the ignition. This isn't related to the steering wheel being locked in place, the key is stuck. Shifting in/out of park needs to happen multiple times. Looking into this online, there are multiple reports of this happening. This is a safety issue because we are unable to get out of the car with our kids because the key is stuck in the ignition. |
